From a Huddersfield point of view I thought their negative tactics cost them. I think there were 4 or 5 occasions they just took the last tackle on our line while only 2 points ahead. They tried to shut the game down and failed. They really should have been looking for a score or repeat set and playing to put the game to bed.

This. You have to take chances to win games, we gave them more than enough opportunities and they chose to play the percentage game.

Gutted for my team- they really didn’t deserve to be on the losing side today as I felt they were the better side overall. I hope the wigan lads felt just a tiny bit embarrassed when lifting that cup- But well done. Let’s hope we can get our revenge in the grand final!

Embarrassed? I definitely wouldn't go that far. Three great tries and great defence were enough to win the game, considering we did our best to hand it to you with all our indiscipline. I'd be more looking at the finer details of your own game.

More or less embarrassed than you should be for that post?

Definitely we didn’t play at our best, but this team never gives up. Like everyone else I admire Matt Peet immensely. In an age where it seems everyone wants to take the easy route he’s prepared to do it the right way, and put in the effort. This is a young team, for the most part, and they’ve a lot of improvement in them. I thought our young forwards were excellent. And that pass from Tommy L at the end! We have had so many great players, but for me at least, Tommy has a place among the absolute legends of the club. What a happy bunny I am tonight! Apologies if I’m incoherent, but I’m full of champagne and enjoying every minute of the evening.

A definite plus today, French looked sharp, great under the high ball and far more solid in defence.

We play a good side today we lose heavily.

Embarrassed?
Not as half as embarrassed as I would be if my team just played sets of 5 and surrendered last tackles for near on 20 mins in a cup final, for fear of losing it earlier.
Deserved everything they got for not playing.

We did and we didn’t.

Cheer up mate, we’ve just won the Challenge Cup and Matty Pete has delivered.

The right team won. The team that brought fans down won. The team that actually contributes positively to this sport won. That's all that matters.

Great win for Peet in his debut season too. There's obviously changes that need to be made to move this team forward, but it's so positive to see us back to winning ways .
